|
I've got a hole in my heart |
|
palms pressed to beating breasts |
|
to try and fill it up |
|
still you will watch your love seep out |
|
cup your hands and crouch down |
|
to catch what's left |
|
before it hits the ground |
|
that's why you shouldn't love me |
|
that's why you shouldn't love me |
|
I've got a mind that's as wild as the sea |
|
strong enough to swallow up |
|
the very thought of you and me |
|
and its so easy to drown |
|
when you're under already |
|
save the life preserver |
|
to save a life that's worthy |
|
I'm as wild as the sea |
|
so don't try to hold me |
|
and you say girl |
|
you're like the ebb and flow of waves |
|
oh oh oh - you come and go |
|
but each time move further away |
|
oh oh, creeping in at night |
|
I know don't make right |
|
my mornings leave |
|
and that's why you shouldn't love me |
|
I've got these words |
|
that are as heavy as a stone |
|
just watch them fall like cannonballs |
|
being shot out in a row |
|
and oh the sound when they come down |
|
connect with blood and bone |
|
I try to hid, cover my eyes |
|
but I hear it and it shows |
|
I've got these words as heavy as stones |
|
you see I'm better off alone |
|
and you said girl |
|
you're fighting blindly in this rage |
|
oh oh oh, just wave your white flag |
|
and you can salvage what remains |
|
oh oh oh, well I'm good as down |
|
but still too proud to admit defeat |
|
and that's why you shouldn't love me |
|
why you shouldn't love me |
|
why you shouldn't love me |
|
why you shouldn't love me |
|
I've got this hope that I |
|
can be made whole |
|
I think I've saved a place |
|
for peace to live in this soul |
|
and I've got these fears so I'll just |
|
watch these things unfold |
|
an epic spray beginning |
|
on the saddest story ever told |
|
and you say 'girl our story's written in the sand |
|
just try to be a good woman |
|
I'll try to be a good man |
|
we're going in reverse to the very first |
|
is Adam and Eve |
|
that's why you shouldn't love me |
|
that's why you shouldn't love me |
|
that's why you shouldn't love me |
|
but oh, won't you please love me |
